Death By A Thousand Cuts

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause the morning comes, and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

I dress to kill my time

I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"

And what once was ours

Is no one's now

I see you everywhere

The only thing we share

Is this small town

You said it was a great love

One for the ages

But if the story's over

Why am I still writing pages?

'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause the morning comes, and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

My heart, my hips, my body, my love

Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch

Gave up on me like I was a bad drug

Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

Our songs, our films, united we stand

Our country, guess it was a lawless land

Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand

Paper cut stings from my paper-thin plans

My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust

Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up

Gave you too much, but it wasn't enough

But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

No, it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch

My body, my love

It's death by a thousand cuts

But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"
